The Tomorrow Windows

May 24, 2004 • Posted By Shaun Lyon

Courtesy Tenth Planet, here is the cover illustration and blurb for the forthcoming novel The Tomorrow Windowsby Jonathan Morris, due out very shortly from BBC Books. (This has to be the closest instance yet of a book cover coming out immediately before the novel is due; in fact, some retailers are reportedly already selling advance copies of the book.)

The Tomorrow Windows, by Jonathan Morris

There's a new exhibition at the Tate Modern - The Tomorrow Windows. The concept is simple: look through a Tomorrow Window and you'll see into the future. You'll get "The Gist of Things to Come". According to the press pack, The Tomorrow Windows exhibition will bring about an end to war and suffering.

Which is why someone decides to blow it up.

Investigating this act of wanton vandalism, The Doctor, Fitz and Trix visit an Astral Flower, the show-world of Utopia, and Gadrahadradon - the most haunted planet in the galaxy. They face the sinister Cecces, the gratuitously violent Vorshagg, the miniscule Micron and the enigmatic Poozle. And they encounter the doomsday monks of Shardybarn, the warmongers of Valuensis, the politicians of Minuea and the killer cars of Estebol.
